Sheriff’s office investigating death of 15-year-old boy

The Criminal Investigations Division of the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office is currently conducting a death investigation. On June 7, 2019, Midnight Shift Patrol deputies were summoned to a residence in the 2800 west block of CR 450 North, regarding a disturbance. On June 8, 2019, Detectives were notified that one of the involved subjects, a 15-year old male, had died at another location.

While sheriff’s office personnel are aware this statement and investigation will create public interest, the public is being asked not to speculate on the circumstances. Rather, the public is urged to be respectful of the decedent’s family and allow them privacy as they grieve the loss of a loved family member. The public should also know there is no immediate risk or danger to anyone else.

Because the investigation is open and active, no further information will be released at this time.
